( well, we are sure off to a rowdy good time.

kara, meanwhile, is just trying to keep it simple by making this note to the network. )

Hello, my name is Kara.

As the selection of clothing offered can be found wanting for some, I have taken to mending and adjusting some of the clothes that I've found for myself. I thought I might offer this to anyone that might need assistance given the limited selection in some sizes and for some heights.

Since I do not sleep, I have a lot of free time so you are free to message me whenever you might need to make a request.

( because sometimes a girl just needs to sit, stew and rip clothes apart. it's therapeutic. )

I do. I also understand how to perform the Heimlich maneuver and some emergency bleeding control.

[chores]

Ten feet, three inches.

It's not something I've done before but I imagine my programming should allow me to calculate how best to fix something for you if needed.

[hardwearing]

Can I ask why that is?

You don't have to answer, I'm just curious.

[chores]

It's fine. But it's because I'm an android so because of my internal battery, I don't require it to replenish my energy.

[hardwearing]

I was wondering if it was something like that. You don't ever have to recharge... is it a microfusion cell?

[sunborne]

Really! Oh wow! That's great to hear.

Thanks!!! :D I owe you my life big time. Is there anything I can do to make this easier for you? Find the materials or something? The least I can do!

[preseance]

( heimlich maneuver. he ain't heard of that one, must be one of those things that's past his time. again. it ain't exactly a source of frustration for him so much of wonder, but it gets mighty old feelin' so far behind. )

There's a gal here who knows it too, Coraline Li. Reckon we ought to get the two of you together so you can compare notes and then maybe teach those of us that ain't got the knowledge yet. If you're amenable, that is. And I'd like to learn this Heimlich maneuver too if at all possible.

I appreciate all your help, by the way. I'm Gene. Eugene Hicks. One of the medics here, but I'm from 1945, before a lot of modern techniques really came around.

I prefer my own clothing, do you believe you can patch, shall we say, burn damage?

[chores]

( she considers declining the idea. considers mentioning that she won't be of much help to anyone considering the things that happened before her arrival into this afterlife but-- she also thinks back to what prompto told about looking at this place like a second chance. )

Coraline Li. Okay, I'll do what I can to help if possible. It is nice to meet you though, Gene. I come from 2038 myself so I am sure there is a lot of things that we can teach one another.

[chores]

If you wish since it would help me greatly. I am usually close to the bonfire since I do not have a room so you are welcomed to bring them there.

[chores]

I am unsure. CyberLife is not the sort to allow anyone, even it's own creations, to be privy to there finer details.

[chores]

I can certainly try. I might need to use other clothing in the process of mending it but it doesn't be terribly hard to figure out.

[sunborne]

Awesome! I'll keep an eye out for anything useful and bring it by the bonfire if it might be of use to you!

Can I ask what your favourite colour is?

[pure_havoc]

understandable, though I haven't seen anything else made of silk in the shop.

[that's right he's all silk all the time thanks China]

[preseance]

( near a hundred years after the fact. lord, he knows on an intrinsic level with a certainty most fellows don't come to in the mortal coil that life goes on. he's met ghosts from ages and empires past. but just. hearin' that. a hundred years. in 1938 he was fourteen, new to brooklyn an' fallin' into a fast friendship with reggie holiday. an' reggie'd been alive. lord. he's been dead now almost longer than they were ever friends while breathin'. )

Thank you, Miss. And if you need anything, don't you hesitate to call on me as well.

Now... if you don't mind the question, what did you mean by 'programming'? I'm not familiar with the word.

[chores]

( there is a slight pause between messages as she stares at the screen, considering the words before fully committing to her own. this was... this was a lot harder than she originally imagined. )

Yes, of course. Thank you. I'll try to remember that because, in truth, I haven't had a lot of good experiences with people before.

And, by programming, I mean I was built already knowing the information. I'm a android which is, um, a very advance and intelligent sort of machine.

[chores]

My favorite color? I don't...

It's not something I've ever thought about before.

[sunborne]

[ oh. that's. huh.

he knows better to ask but curiosity- ]

Can I ask why is that? I don't think I ever came across an answer like that. I've gotten, 'Not now, Daylight' or 'Is this really the time?' or 'I hate colours.' as answers but!

Nothing like this before. [ it piques his interest, is what day is trying to say. ]

[chores]

Would you believe me if I said I only have six days worth of memories? It was a very long six days.

Needless to say... I didn't have a lot of time to think about things like that.

[chores]

Hmm. I haven't either and silk is, understandably, harder to mend. It takes a very delicate hand.

[preseance]

( give him

a minute.

actually, probably a few minutes. and maybe he smokes a cigarette in the interim, because his first reaction is to blurt out, like a typewriter? an' that surely don't seem fair so. keep it together, hicks. )

By 'people' I assume you mean humans? I'm sorry if so.

( he wishes he could say it surprises him. but folks don't take kindly to different, no matter what that 'different' may be. )

Pardon me if I say anything rude on that account. It's not my intention.

[sunborne]

[ daylight pauses for a second upon reading the message.

it's- it's pretty fantastical, daylight won't lie, but he knows he's from a very fantastical world himself. if his reading of the messages on this network so far is to be believed. pot and kettle and so on and so forth. ]

Yeah. I believe you.

There can be a lot of reasons for that to happen and, unless you want to explain it or stuff, I'll take your word for it!

[pure_havoc]

I would imagine so.

I am willing to at least make an attempt. my own clothing means that much to me. if it proves impossible, I will accept it.

[chores]

It's nothing interesting, I'm an android who recently had their memories wiped in a reboot. That's the reason my current span of memories are so short.

[sunborne]

[ okay. from daylight's universe, there's a lot to unpack here. ]

And I guess recovering what's lost in the reboot is not a go where you are? Or here, for the time being? Given the, you know, lack of technology and stuff that we're both used to and all.
